They are this amazing pinkish, soft purple-ish color. The photo doesn't do them justice. Unfortunately, they are also rather delicate, so they are starting to bloom-out already. But I love them while I have them.
As for knitting content. Auction shawl #2 is going more reliably, but hardly any faster. I have rarely been so bored knitting something.....I just want it done so bad, so of course it is taking forever.
I even started a new shawl from Victorian Lace Today this week, just to break up the monotony, but the knowledge that I need to get that auction shawl done keeps nagging at me. Funny thing is, the pattern is starting to grow on me. I have a single skein of SeaSilk that I plan to use a variation of the zigzag lace on to make a scarf. I think it would look lovely. I'm just desperate to make something for myself after the holiday knitting madness directly followed by baby blanket knitting, followed by auction knitting. I haven't made anything for myself in months. And I haven't added to my personal shawl wardrobe for nearly a year. Now THAT is a sad turn of events.

Saw your comment on Yarn Harlot's blog. Should you run out of yarn in my fair city/metro area in May try Stitch DC and Knit Happens. Stitch's Hill location on 8th St is 3 blocks from Eastern Market Metro and Knit Happens is 15ish minute walk from King Street metro. (stitchdc.com and knithappens.net)
Maybe a spate of all for Aly is appropriate? ;)
The shawl looks lovely though.
Hi -- this might seem a little crazy, but I am looking for Sterling Silver roses for my wedding day (they were my grandmother's favorite) and I can't find them ANYWHERE! Would you please tell me the name of the florist your charming husband (or assistant) uses? Thank you so much in advance!
